Bail Commissioner Darren Hall told Judge Raymond Norko that police responded to an incident Friday that led to Jarrett's arrest on charges including criminal mischief, breach of peace and reckless endangerment. At the time of that arrest, officers became aware that there was a warrant for Jarrett's arrest on the sexual assault charge, he said.

The alleged sex assault happened June 1, police said. Because the warrant is sealed, little information about the case was available Monday. The case is being screened for possible transfer to the Part A court in Hartford, which handles more serious cases.

Outside the courtroom Monday, Jarrett's father, Terry Brown, said his son had consensual sexual contact with a girl with whom he had been having a relationship. His son was 16 at the time, he said, and the girl was 13 or 14.

His son is ``immature for his age in his thinking,'' Brown said.

The girl's parents found out about the nature of the couple's relationship, he said, and contacted authorities. The girl still calls the house, Brown said.

He said police arrested his son Friday night because ``he was in a car with other kids shooting off BB guns.''

Brown said he was frustrated Monday because he wasn't allowed to talk in court when he stood next to Jarrett with the teen's mother. He also is concerned that details of the sex assault charges against his son are sealed from public view, he said.
